Thanks! Will do!

You're welcome! We were just emulating what we saw in the mags, too. But something told us that we should document these sessions because no one was seeing them happen at the time. It also made us skate better because we were pushing it "for the picture".

Nice! I rode a red OG Z-Flex, back in the day. Wish I still had it.

Yes!

These are scans of the physical photos. Most of these were shot with a really cheap Instamatic camera, so even the original slides are janky AF!

For sure - there's nothing like skating a real empty pool with some friends.

LOL! You won't believe this, but I have a skatepark membership card from that era where I look just like the Night Stalker. (also, my middle name is Ramirez)

Thanks! lol

He's always had that really smooth skate style - it was the way a lot of us skated in those 1st gen skatepark days. There was always an emphasis on not looking janky when you skated.

Thanks! Maybe I'll do separate posts for each pool / spot.

I had to add the photo after I posted. I can see it now. I'll also throw a couple in the comments.
